From Racing Historian Ron Cummings:
"The MG next to the Binney Doretti is
an MG Magnette from the '30s. I know little about these cars but this one
was raced in the '50s by a guy named Jacobsen. It ran all of the
Cal Club tracks including Paramount Ranch. His son, a recently retired
Cal Poly professor, still vintage races his dad's car. He is a member of
the Fab 50's. I have talked to him several times. I will try to get
you more info."
From Mike
Savin:
"It was a kick to see Bill Binney's Coupe
-- even in that sad condition after all these years. The last time
I saw it must have been about 1964 or 1965 -- a Monterey Park postman owned
it at that time and it was painted white. (Bill originally painted it red)."
